Here is Freddie another super strong grip suggesting a weaker grip for higher shots.The super strong grip for the short game is not recommended as Dave Pelz points out.I think Azinger has found a way to accommodate this.

Because a strong grip encourages the handle to be forward… as I said (and the opposite of what you said).

It is only fair to mention that Azinger has a super strong grip since most people don't ,I think we can agree on that and how this grip impacts the short game.

Since the only thing you've said about how it affects the short game is that a strong grip promotes the handle being back (the opposite is more true), I don't think we can agree to that yet at all, no.

Here we have Azinger at about the :50 sec mark referring to an "artificial" set up.Again, if it works ,great,but I would be careful with it.

He says the heel is shaved down-The Bounce-so he stands the club up to use a little more bounce on the toe. Ray Floyd also said to get as close to the ball as possible-And stood the club up quite a bit too.[quote name="freedrop" url="/t/71877/paul-azinger-golf-channel-academy/54#post_948539"]Here we have Azinger at about the :50 sec mark referring to an "artificial" set up.Again, if it works ,great,but I would be careful with it.

Saw it...was a bit shocked he threw of on pro's, probably didn't mean to but none the less did. I tweeted him out it and he called me a troll. Thanks Paul real class. I thought segment was good otherwise. I even noted tv can be tough!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
